Public sector (state government agencies, commissions, and school systems) workplaces must comply with the requirements of the state's Loss Prevention Program. Each agency will determine whether site or task-specific safety rules are necessary and what they will cover for the safety of their employees.

The U.S. Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) administers and enforces federal workplace safety and health requirements in private sector workplaces in the state. The Louisiana Office of Risk Management/Loss Prevention Unit administers the state Loss Prevention Program for public sector workplaces through periodic audits.
